Union Special 43200G - Chain Stitching in UK

[Guest]

I simply 'cuff' when wearing no shoe and not gonna repair just yet, just gonna go with da flow -  all my other jeans are ripped to shreds at the bottom.

[Giles]

I'm in need of a Union Special 43200 (preferably) chain stitching machine - to buy, that is.  Anyone know the whereabouts of a working one?…G

Dont understand spanish, but dude said he has one for sale. Best of luck, just making sure you can keep hemming IH.

I would help, but that's not spanish, that's portuguese (however you spell it, doing this from the berry..)

from the looks of it a liquidation sale - France - they still have a few Union made 3 needle chainstitch sewing machines…

[Giles]

Thanks Beats already dropped emails to a couple of your suggestions.  Did in middle of night when couldn't sleep…G

[Beatle]

Yup. need something to do to kill the time ;D…G

[Giles]

A-Train thanks for the links…G

I bet++++

[Giles]

Beatle, that one looks incredible.  But seriously expensive.  And I'll get hit with mega taxes and shipping bringing it in from Japan…G

[Beatle]

u´ll have to be creative.. I would contact them - or get someone to help you with this - and I doubt that the tax ppl really know what this is worth. u´d have to fly there and bring it back with u. seriously , Giles, it´s perfect*

[Giles]

You're right.  I have mailed the Big H.  I may well be able to bring it back with me in May.  The other thing that I thought, is that is I can probably recoup most, if not all of the investment if I need to get rid anyway…G

[Beatle]

Great ! This is a serious investment - but if you handle it right it will pay off. I´m the first to take a couple of lessons. Having ur own chainstitching /hemming service is like the grease that makes the machine run smoothly. Good luck - now I really cross my fingers*

[Giles]

Great idea.  I may charge extra for people to come and do their own - be part of the adventure ;D…G
